We woke up to a bright sunny day. I saw this hot air balloon in the far distance. It took all of my zooming power to get the picture. We popped over for a delightful breakfast. Items of note included a hole in the floor of the dining area, a bed of sprouts with a pair of scissors to cut them and an entire art room for the guests enjoyment. We stopped back into the room to do a load of laundry and as I was puzzling over the directions in German the maid service knocked on the door. I had forgotten to put the do not disturb sign back on the door knob, so she was here to clean. We did not want the room cleaned so I used the phrase I learned in High School German class, "nicht putzen das auto". Of course that means we don't need the car cleaned...but I did need help with the machine so she showed me what fluid to put in, where to put it and what buttons to press.. We left the washer to run and went directly to the floating café. It was bigger than I had imagined. There was a amphitheater there for concerts and then an entire café art gallery. Lots of fun! Right across the street was the Kunsthaus which is part art museum part Exploratorium. We were very impressed with this space and the building is so damn funky
I would add another star to this Hotel!

I guess this was a well. It is covered but I still stepped over it.

Yes, we were able to find a good breakfast
This was a five foot tall thinly sliced wooden sculpture
